Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1823: Chapter 1823: Senior Feng, Are You Trying to Intimidate Us?

In the thirty-six cities of the Secret Realm, the number of people truly cultivating isn’t particularly large. Even though the Central Eight Cities are relatively prosperous, a family typically has at most one to two thousand cultivators, totaling only a few tens of thousands of people.

Among these tens of thousands, the majority are but ants in the Innate Late Stage. Those truly above Foundation Establishment possibly don’t even make up five to six thousand.

As for the eight thousand they brought out, only a bit over two thousand are truly above Foundation Establishment.

In contrast, the number of Xuanmen cultivators is significantly higher. As for those above Foundation Establishment, during this battle with the Evil Sect, there are four to five thousand; after accounting for the losses, there are still more than thirty thousand.

Should a real fight ensue, not even these Old Monsters, despite their prowess, could single-handedly contend against tens of thousands of cultivators above Foundation Establishment.

”Is this a threat?” Senior Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke coldly.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong and chilling aura spread out, making one’s skin crawl.

Many Xuanmen Cultivators involuntarily took a few steps back, yet still found it hard to conceal their inner fear.

Ye Haochuan, who had faced beings like Hu Ji before, was considered well-experienced. However, when facing Senior Feng, he still felt somewhat daunted in his heart.

”Senior Feng, you misunderstand! I have no intention of threatening you. I just wanted to say that perhaps our Xuanmen could help you kill those Exotic Beasts and take over the Secret Realm.” Ye Hao wore a smile, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

Senior Feng’s brows slightly furrowed. Although Ye Hao seemed to be showing submission on the surface, he wasn’t retreating in the least. The meaning was clear: if you forcefully want Ye Haochuan, be prepared for an all-out war with us Xuanmen.

As for Yang Sen and Ye Hao, Senior Feng didn’t take them seriously, but he was somewhat apprehensive about the tens of thousands of cultivators above Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, he hadn’t come this time to fight with Xuanmen.

”It doesn’t matter if we don’t get this kid!” Senior Feng suddenly said, ”As long as you allow us to inhabit your Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, to compensate for our losses in the Secret Realm, I won’t hold this against you!”

”What? You’re asking for the moon!” Just as Senior Feng finished speaking, a Xuanmen Cultivator shouted angrily.

The Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm is the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, and it’s the most important base for Xuanmen. Senior Feng, asking for it outright, clearly intends to undermine Xuanmen’s foundation.

Ye Hao’s expression shifted slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ”Senior Feng, you are of the highest seniority here, and as a junior, I naturally respect you. But your request is rather...”

Senior Feng’s face slightly changed, and he said, ”Your people from Xuanmen caused our world to be lost; shouldn’t you compensate us with a world of equal level? We haven’t even settled the account for the many deaths and injuries in our Secret Realm yet!”

”Indeed, my grandson broke the Formation Foundation, but that too was forced by your people from the Secret Realm. How can it be entirely blamed on my grandson?”

Ye Hao refused to yield, ”Moreover, those Formation Foundations had been around for countless years, presumably already severely worn out. Even if my grandson hadn’t broken them, they might not have lasted much longer. Placing all the responsibility on my grandson is hardly fair!”

”This is just quibbling!” Senior Feng took half a step forward, and his overwhelming aura spread like a flood.

Ye Hao felt immense pressure, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Senior Feng’s strength was truly formidable, several times more powerful than Elder Meng.

However, he knew he couldn’t retreat; if he did, he would lose all negotiating leverage.

He gritted his teeth, struggling to keep his body from instinctively backing away. Although the whole process was quite laborious, he maintained an appearance of nonchalance.

”Senior Feng, are you trying to bully us with your power?” Ye Haochuan, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly spoke up.

”Hmm?” Senior Feng gazed at Ye Haochuan with a look of surprise.

At that moment, Ye Haochuan seemed entirely unaffected by Senior Feng’s aura, displaying an air of calmness.

”How is this possible? Even Ye Hao could barely withstand the pressure; how is this kid acting as if nothing happened?” Senior Feng thought, scrutinizing Ye Haochuan.

In his eyes, it was obvious that Ye Hao was merely pretending to be calm, whereas Ye Haochuan was genuinely unaffected.

In the next moment, Senior Feng noticed an array pattern flashing beneath Ye Haochuan’s feet, which explained the key to the situation.

Even so, he couldn’t suppress his inner shock. What kind of formation could allow a Nascent Soul Early Stage ant to achieve a level stronger than Ye Hao?

The Feng family’s heritage technique is formation, and he had been studying it for over a hundred years, yet he couldn’t think of any formation with such power.

With this thought, he glanced at the feet of the other Xuanmen members. This glance made his frown deepen.

Previously, he had been confident in his strength and hadn’t paid attention to this group of ordinary cultivators. Now, seeing them, he realized every Xuanmen member had a similar formation beneath their feet as Ye Haochuan.

Although they didn’t seem as powerful as Ye Haochuan, with this formation enhancing them, their strength presumably increased as well.

Senior Feng then looked at Ye Hao again and noticed Ye Hao didn’t have such a formation under his feet. If Ye Hao had this formation, who knows how strong he would become.

As he thought of this, Senior Feng made a resolve in his mind; no real conflict should break out with Xuanmen, or else the people of the Secret Realm would undoubtedly perish at their hands.

Despite such thoughts, his face remained expressionless.

”You brat, stop being glib. Our Secret Realm was destroyed by you—don’t we deserve compensation?” Senior Feng said coldly, looking at Ye Haochuan.

”As I said, it was the Gu Family that instigated this. I didn’t intend to destroy the Formation Foundation. We can indeed compensate, but you can’t just make exorbitant demands.” Ye Haochuan replied fearlessly.

Ye Hao seized the chance and said, ”Haochuan is right. We are willing to compensate, but you cannot say whatever you want as the price. You only have eight thousand people, asking for an entire Dimension world is a waste of resources.

How about this, you can choose any city within the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm as your base?”

”Ye Hao, you little brat, a Dimension world and a city are not the same! If you’re this insincere, there’s no need for negotiations. We can just wipe you out, and let’s see who else in Xuanmen can stop us...” Elder Meng, instantly furious, wanted to make a move.

”Stop!” Senior Feng suddenly shouted sternly.

Elder Meng, despite his fiery temper, didn’t dare to act rashly in front of Senior Feng and withdrew sullenly.

Senior Feng then turned to look at Ye Hao and said, ”Giving just a city is not impossible, but I have one more request!”
